If you need a riding partner this weekend or any other then let me know.
Thanks for the kinds words GT. Some days it IS the job but most days its the people I work with. I guess the boss either failed Management 101 or never bothered to take the course in college.

So buck up Ron, do their silly crap, and take as much of their freakin' money as you can... It's a fair trade. And ride your bike so at least some part of the day doesnt suck.
True. It's a job and too many days not fun at all.

I wouldn't not ride on the weekend because your job sucks. Go ride BECAUSE your job sucks. And drink some beer.
It's Friday!
#1 isn't true for every job. I really liked my last 3 jobs. I left them either for more money or because of corporate downsizing.

Thanks everyone.
